Is it just me?

Maybe it's me...

Is it just me?

Maybe I am just the one that would rather have one single friend that I can trust with every single secret, than a thousands friends who just run their mouths about everything and about me.

I'd rather have the one friend who genuinely loves me for who I am, than many fake friends who's love is just fake.

I just rather have that one friend who will show up when things are hard for me, than fake friends who flake on me when times get tough.

I'd rather have one friend who will scream and clap and celebrate my successes, than fake friends that are rolling their eyes as I succeed in life, as they secretly hope I fail.

I just rather have that one friend who accepts me as I am, than fake friends who I have to impress every time I am around them or to even just keep them around.

I'd rather have that one friend who forgives me when I slip up in life just because they know my heart if pure, than fake ones who expect nothing but perfection.

I'd rather have that one friend who stays and holds me close when I need it, than fake friends who will flake and take me in when something or someone better comes along.

I would rather have that one friend who lifts me up, than fake ones trying to tear me down daily.

I would rather have that one friend who sees me for me, than fake ones who look away or even right through me.

I'd rather have that one friend who genuinely cares about my best interest in things, than someone who pretends like they do and only cares about what I do for them.

I would rather have one friend who is always there right beside me through the bad times and the good, not the fake ones that run when the bad things hit and can't see the good things that are happening right before you.

I'd rather have that one friend who keeps their word to me and tells me the truth and never says "I love you" in vain, than fake friends who will say any pretty lie they can come up with and that goes back on their promises.

That one true friend is better than millions of fake friends.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
